DrHippocampus: Approved πππ Got approved today!!! My only travel history are two trips to Ghana πππππ This is my first visa application to the US Was so discouraged when I saw loads of rejections but thankfully, mine was accepted. Guys, all you need is just confidence, a defined purpose for your travel and a definite reason why you will come back and not remain in the US... I even told them I've a relative in the US They didn't ask me to bring any document at all.. Hopefully, I'd be able to give details of how the interview went but for now, make I go pop pepsi (I don't take alcohol) Thank you all for the advice . They really helped me Thank you all 7 Likes 1 Share |

DrHippocampus:Congratulations I'm glad to read this good news from Lagos embassy. |
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 4 by DrHippocampus: 11:52am On Feb 14 |
Debbieeeeeee: I read so many stories online about how hard Lagos can be, but I guess I was just favoured. I mean, it's my first application, I'm single, no kids, and I'm a young guy in his twenties. But my reason for the visit was very compelling, plus I have good reasons to come back. |

DrHippocampus:I've always maintained that Lagos or Abuja if youβre meant to get the visa you will get it and with ease. Congratulations again brother! 2 Likes |

Guys please I have a question. I have a US interview this month in Nigeria. Iβm married to a UK citizen and I have a UK P.R. I filled my form that Iβve never been refused a U.S visa and I just realized today that I have. In 2007, my mom applied for me and I didnβt even remember. I was in secondary school then so I didnβt even know. Since itβs over 15 years, will the record still be in their system. |

Nielda234:Fill out another form and update your profile with the information accordingly. Do all these at least a week before your appointment to be safe, although they say 72 hours before your appointment but it doesn't hurt to be prompt. 1 Like |

Niyibamo:They'll just ask you basic questions. Where are you going? For what reason? Who is sponsoring? They may request for proof of funds, so have your bank statements ready. If you are working, have documents to support this. If you are ac student, have your student ID card etc to prove it. Make sure you answer questions truthfully. If you lied significantly at a time in your life (e.g in Age) and have been using that lie, make sure you continue with the lie. Do not answer differently from the non-immigrant form you filled. If you have ever been denied visa, tell them the truth if you are asked. (Only if you are asked). They already know this, so lying to them means you probably lied in every other thing. |

OyoTunjiUSA: You are funny. He has more than 80% chance of being issued a US B1/B2 visa. Except of course, if he's a high risk individual. |
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 4 by osurvey: 1:12pm On Feb 14 |
Nielda234:I don't know why people lie about this. If you have been refused a visa before, why lie about it. The number one reason for most visa refusal is LIES. You think they won't find out you've been denied visa? Pray that they probably take it that you were under aged then. They'll most likely ask you this again in your interview, Tell them your mum once applied for you 15 years ago. Only answer if you are asked. Don't go telling them you made a mistake without being asked. Good luck |

Re: USA Visit Visa Part 4 by Xoxobull: 9:46pm On Feb 14 |
Good evening house,please I want to apply to the US with my husband and my 2kids (3/4yrs) with my house girl of 16years. I have applied for student visa like 3times four years ago then I was single and I was denied all 3times so I stopped applying for it due to the trauma of Failure. My brother and his wife in US has been pleading that I reapply with my family,but I have been scared to try again. My Niece who is an American citizen has been staying with me for awhile now cos she is a special kid and she is due to go back to the US in few months time which will make it her 1 year of staying with as she has gotten better than before. My husband has a good travelling history and he is a permanent resident of an Asian country, I have not travelled out since I got married. Please I need your advice should we apply as a family and use my niece as a case study to return her back to her parents,or should we apply on our own, what's the best chances for us to apply plus she has barely few months to go back and we have not purchased the form yet plus the long time to wait for appointment, My question is:What's the best case scenario for us,I would appreciate your advice. N.b: we don't intend to Japa we just want to be able to visit my brother and his family during occasions as a family, because we have a joint bussiness running here in Nigeria. |

Re: USA Visit Visa Part 4 by OyoTunjiUSA(m): 10:25pm On Feb 14 |
Xoxobull: Hey π€ 1. Apply alone with the special kid . You will stand as her only accompanying family person since she cannot travel alone and that's a good omen for you to get your visiting visa this time around . You will have a very good reason to get your visa . 2. Your 2 kids and your husband, and your 16 yr old house-help are also a very good ties for you to return to Nigeria quickly. If you include them in the visa application , then that would be unreasonable and might be termed an intending Immigrant family . 3. When you secure your B1/B2 visa , it would be easier to get future visa for your 2 kids , and your house help , while your husband has a good travel history on his own. Don't do otherwise, but with God all things are possible . *** As per your house girl , you will have to adopt her (legally with government papers) and apply for visa for your 3 kids (including the house girl who is now your daughter ) in the future . You need calculation and patience to get visas for all of you , otherwise the embassy might flag your profiles as intending Immigrant family . Best Wishes π 1 Like |

OyoTunjiUSA: Thanks for this reply please how does this part work if she doesn't need a visa, will I be allowed to take her for interview along with me since she already has her blue passport. |
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 4 by OyoTunjiUSA(m): 11:17pm On Feb 14 |
Xoxobull: Hey π€ 1. She does not need an interview . You are the one who need the interview . Her parents must send an invitation letter to you (requesting you to bring the kid over and stating the reason why they cannot come themselves as well as why you were chosen. 2. You will use the invitation letter , with other support documentation (proving their parentage) to apply for your visa . The embassy might ask you to bring in the kid but it's not compulsory, they can authenticate her detail via her blue P. Best Wishes π |
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 4 by Xoxobull: 12:13am On Feb 15 |
OyoTunjiUSA: Many thanks for this. Please would I still have to wait for interview date or can I get interview date faster through any emergency because she is meant to go back this summer. |
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 4 by fkj950ax(m): 2:18am On Feb 15 |
Xoxobull:Your visa application cannot be adjudicated based on a USC that isn't your immediate family (defined as child, spouse or parent by USCIS/State.Gov). There is no way to list her to "strengthen" your application. Apart from your hesitation in reapplying, I think you stand a REALLY-VERY-GOOD-EXCELLENT chance of getting approved with all the other things going on for you after your 3rd refusal. Just make sure your business and income situation is above and beyond. Add you husband's income (convert to NGN) to the family yearly income in your DS160. Can you also clarify your brother in the US is the parent of the niece with you or another of your sibling? Minors and others (sick or special needs) can travel unaccompanied with airlines. The VO can reason along this path... WRT getting EAs, there are clearly define reasons for using it. Accompanying your niece won't exactly fit any of the moulds. Summer is here, start hunting for dates by checking 3 times a day - everyday. Or paying others to do it for you. WRT your 16 yrs old help, don't even bother. She is already an adult by US standards and should be in school or working (which makes her responsible for her visa and travel needs). She has no reason to return to NG with you. She will be seen likely to "run away". She is not an immediate family member or a distant relative - confirm this assumption. It's unfortunate, but it's a call you have to make. I had to make such a call Nov last year. The only nanny we used for 13 years was left behind when my family left NG Dec last year. We set her up financially. 1 Like |

Re: USA Visit Visa Part 4 by OyoTunjiUSA(m): 8:05am On Feb 15 |
Xoxobull: Hey π€ Be positive in your mind that you can use this opportunity to secure your B1/B2 visa because it is very reasonable that you will be accompanying a special kid (who needs constant attention ) who is also a teenager (i guess ). Putting only her on the plane might not even be allowed . If she is sound and healthy as others that's another aspect . 1. You will apply normally for your visa interview and hope to use the emergency option to get your desired date . Naturally , you won't qualify but the girl's parent should indicate that she would be coming to the US for medical purposes too. If possible , a physician letter should accompanying the parent invitation letter (this will put your application under Medical Emergency). 2. Focus on your own visa first . Your 16 year old house help can go for F1 visa or she can accompany you for vacation . There are lot of ways to assist her if you really want to take her to the US but break the jinx of your own visa first. 3. My close relative (female) in the year 2018 took twins (whose mother died during birth) to the US (the family of the twins mother in the US adopted the twins) successfully, but with government paper work and everything legally.

fkj950ax:Iβm aware of a couple of family and friends who have obtained visas for their Nannieβs and house-helps and Iβm also about to take that route Iβm presently asking questions from those who did it and Iβve been doing a lot of online reading regarding that. Also during my interview in 2021 at the Lagos embassy I witnessed a domestic employee issued a visa. But itβs best for the lady in question to secure her own visa first before bringing the domestic employee into the mix. Cheers! 2 Likes
